"I thought you were escorted to your chambers, did you decide to explore the castle tonight? Or..." Mortis said without any particular expression on his face.
I wondered what he was doing out here. I'd closed my eyes and ran without any care for the direction or where I was actually headed. I ran purely on chaotic emotion alone, so you could say I stumbled upon him by pure accident. But considering his actions and motives up until now, I've really begun to doubt the existence of coincidences as a whole. The castle felt like a massive labyrinth, and every path seemed carefully orchestrated.
"Did you have a fight with that girl?" He said with a slight smirk.
"..."
How did he guess that? Maybe it's my expression that gave it away, or the pathetic tears that failed to stream down and instead just welled up hotly in the corners of my eyes.
"If you're not busy, why don't you walk with me?"
